Last week of 2nd grade

We are finishing our last week of 2nd grade and I have mixed feelings! I am happy that we will finally get a break, but sad that my son is getting older and growing up. I know that time goes by fast. I get a little sad some times to think that in no time he will graduate and move on to college or trade school.

But, I am making the most of what I have now! I am trying to make this last week as fun as possible, while still motivating him to get his work done.

So...I will be busy busy this week. I will try to post at least 3 days this week!

New School Schedule

I am currently working on my new school schedule. I am hoping to set some time each day to sew and make thinks to sell on Etsy. I am also hoping to get back to my 2008 goals.

I will try to post my new schedule Friday.

Have a great evening!

Lesson Plans

I am up to my ears in school books and lesson plan sheets! I have decided not to wait until the last minute like last year! I am doing lesson plans one month in advance. That in itself is a big job!

We are starting school next week, so I have been a little slow at blogging. I will resume my daily blogging on Monday.

Have a great day!

Mid Year Evaluation

I have been evaluating my blog and what it started out as. I have realized that I have not been a very good business owner. If I had a brick a mooter store, I would have gone bankrupt by now!!

I have not found a way to work more than about 10 hours a week on my business and fully devote time to my family. If my son was in public school, I'm sure I could devote about 30 hours a week to work, but that is not the case

It is truly hard to be a Christian homemaker / home schooler, and try to run a business. I am going to revisit my schedule over the next few days and see where I can fit more time in without compromising family time.

I will write more tomorrow.

Have a great evening!

He Passed!!

I am so excited that my son passed the 1st grade! This was our first year homeschooling, so I was a bit nervous about the review. It went a lot smoother than I thought it would. I am so happy!! He was rewarded to a big plate chocolate chip cookie and a coloring book.

We will be taking a week off of any schooling, including summer bridge, so he can have some down time. Then I will start planning the second grade.

Today I am catching up on laundry and dishes.

Have a great day!!

Home School Review Time

My sons review is on Friday and I busy getting everything together. I shouldn't have waited so long to be organized! Lesson learned for next year! I will try to write in the morning, but I may forget. Until then, enjoy your time with your family!
